YAYsports! NBA

We want to extend a genuine gratitude for the fine folks at ABC for concentrating their cameras, feeds, and attention on the Boston players last night, instead of the Boston fans.

It allowed us to feel some joy for KG and Ray Allen, and even a little bit for Paul Pierce, aside from that weird moment when he pretended Doc Rivers was a football coach.

We’ll even admit that we shed a couple tears during Garnett’s eloquent and well-spoken interview with Michelle Tafoya (sp).

If you didn’t see it, we think we can sum it up by simply repeating what we believe was the fourth sentence of his speech: “Blllllarhv fisnwosvbnalkhl, HBaesijfn!!!!”

Now, celebrations aside, we must concentrate on our absolute favorite part of the entire broadcast - the NBA DOT COM commercial for Celtics championship gear that played right after the win.

We don’t have it to post for you, but basically, it was a bunch of ecstatic families decked out in Celtics 2008 t-shirts and hats, photoshopped in front of a cheering Boston crowd.

It looked so fake and cheesy, we almost bought some stuff.

The only other thing we can take from this whole mess, is that as much as we love Kobe, we love Michael Jordan so much more. Really, really weird what happened to him in these Finals - we don’t know why he didn’t score points and put the basketball inside of the basketball hoop with his hands more.

All we do know is that every single time anyone scored in Game 6, we yelled “BASKET!!” at the top of our lungs. After about a quarter of that, it becomes the funniest thing in the world, even if you’re all by yourself.
